Chapter 350 Bidding War 4
He was randomly bidding 1.5 billion because he assumed that Virus was simply going to beat him to it by casually saying ’$2 billion’ just like the previous time.
He waited and waited, but the anticipated voice which was going to be like a melody never reached his ears.
Every second that passed resulted in more droplets of sweat rolling down Fan Tong’s face as he kept praying for Virus to say ’$2 billion.’
Unfortunately, that sweet number was never uttered!
Meanwhile, on the stage, the auctioneer had long gone quiet while wondering why the hell did the price skyrocket so much. It was just a Pink Diamond Barbie and they had confirmed that thorough and thorough... but why?
Nonetheless, feeling somewhat awkward, she started counting in a fast manner, "Going, going, gone! C-congratulations, dear sir, for winning the Pink Diamond B-barbie!" She was so tickled that she was almost unable to control her laughter at the very end. Fortunately, she barely made it.
"Have fun playing with your Pink Barbie, Fan Tong!" However, abruptly, a shout came from a familiar seat which made the salesroom explode. The voice naturally belonged to Virus.
"Pffft..."
"Hahahaha..."
"Oh my God! I can’t hold it any longer, hahaha..." The Chairman screamed, following suit.
The golden beauty and Amara too were laughing wildly as tears of joy covered the corners of their eyes.
"Pffft, I-I can’t, I can’t hold it in either, hehehe, s-sorry, hehehe..." The auctioneer too could no longer endure it as she burst into a fit of laughter behind the tribune. Of course, she tried her best to distance herself from the microphone so her laughter wouldn’t be that obvious. But it was clear that nearly everyone had heard her.
"Hehehe..."
"Fuck! Is he an idiot?! Hur hur."
In the meantime, Fan Tong’s face had gone ashen white as beads after beads of sweat were dropping off of his face.
Having finally understood what had just happened, Fan Tong’s expression gradually became extremely dark as a sense of such hatred he had never experienced to this very day blinded him completely! Now he considered himself to be unreconcilable with that person! Enemies for life!
’I’ll have my revenge! I swear to God! I swear! I’ll fucking shred him to many pieces and feed my dogs with it!!!’ His eyes were also bloodshot at this point.
To be honest, as a tool of extra entertainment, Virus wanted Fan Tong to outbid him on the Pink Barbie as his goal was that, to begin with. However, it was crystal clear to him that by doing this, he was taking a long shot and the chance of Fan Tong falling into his obvious trap for real was somewhat slim and on the lower side.
But to be honest, Virus didn’t care even if he lost that meager amount of money. He felt like it was totally worth it. So he just uttered ’$1 billion’ randomly.
Yet, against the odds, that idiot Fan Tong had actually fallen into his trap due to being utterly blind by hatred and rage.
Then she proceeded with the rest of her words internally, ’And successfully became the biggest laughing stock of Shanghai and even the entire world for many years or perhaps generations to come. Hehehe... what an idiot.’
Putting that notion aside, Wang Fang continued, "The next piece is something very valuable!" As the item was uncovered in front of everyone, she exclaimed, "This is the largest flawless fancy vivid pink diamond ever graded, I present to you the 59.6-carat diamond known as the Pink Star!"
After the auctioneer announced that the price begins at $30 million, before anybody could phrase anything, a declaration shut everyone up, "$300 million!"
Obviously, a declaration made by Virus.
This time, although he was burning in rage, Fan Tong still didn’t dare to outbid him due to the fear of him suddenly pulling out. Due to the horrific possibility of this also being just another trap set specifically for him.
The funny fact about this whole situation, however, was that even the other guests were somewhat reluctant and afraid of mindlessly bidding against this ruthless person who had just engraved Fan Tong’s smeared or perhaps holy name within the records of history itself!
Thus, as a result of all of that, Virus naturally won the Pink Star he had personally come here for. Though he was still buying it for around a ’$100 million’ more expensive, frankly, he didn’t mind.
"Alright everyone, that was it for normal items such as arts, pearls, diamonds, B-barbies, etc. From now onwards, every object sold is going to be materials or treasures related to the rifts!" Stated the auctioneer while deliberating to herself in absolute and utter joy, ’I’m gonna be super rich after all this is over! Thank you, thank you Money God. You have my unfaltering gratitude for all of it. I promise to use them well.’
